Just re-posting my scribbles and recent artworks of Severus x Dawn into one post ❤️
They are the only ones keeping me afloat right now 🫂
I especially like this doodle of yours. 🥹♡ The pose and the atmosphere look very gentle and loving. It looks so light and liberating, which suits the two of them very well. You've captured the moment beautifully. 🤍🌸
Always safe with you.
...Another quick doodle ✨️

Thank you so much dear Julia, you’re so sweet. I’m very grateful for your heartwarming words. 🌸🤍
I had to listen to the song straight away and it's really beautiful. (♡•͈ 𓎺 •͈ )
I'm really glad I could make you smile. I know you are going through a very difficult time and I really hope that despite the constant darkness that surrounds you at the moment, you can still experience many beautiful moments of light every day. There are so many people who love and care for you and are happy that you are there. ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
I'm sending you a big hug. You are beautiful, inside and out. And a unique and incredibly strong woman, never forget that.
From the bottom of my heart, Ellie 💌

“To you, my heart I surrender…”
“And I can't count the times, I stayed awake pretending you were mine…” (“My heart I surrender” by I Prevail)
About one year ago, I decided to give tumblr a go for the first time in my life. With my “old” age of almost 40 years, I was afraid of being a grandma in this whole social networking thing. But, damn, I would have never expected, what I’ve actually found here, in our beloved Snapedom: I found the kindest, sweetest and most understanding people, which I would never thought, they’d exist! I found friends!
For more than 20 years, I only lived my immutable love for Severus Snape in my own heart, mind and home. But since I decided to share my thoughts, my sorrows and my devotion to my precious dungeon bat on my blog, I got overwhelmed by the positivity and interest people offered to me.
One of these lovely souls is my friend @exlibrisseverus. Ellie, you surprised me with this beautiful artwork of Severus and my OC Jules and I can’t stress enough, how grateful I am for your friendly gesture. I love the way, you made the love and trust between these two tormented souls become palpable. And OH…MY…GOSH, his cute ass makes me want to squeeze, pinch and bite it all at once! 🫠😅
Ellie, please take my apologies for this uncommonly short post of mine, but I’m struggling a lot with typing and accepting screen time, lately (yep…ME/CFS is a bitch 🥺). Nevertheless, I wanted to thank you for everything and share this mesmerising piece of art with the community of Snapedom… my safe space!

20th May 2002 ~ for my beloved cat Scully 🐈⬛
Today is the anniversary of my cats birthday. Scully was born on 20th May 2002 and i had her with me half of my life. She died few days before new year, on 29th December 2022.
Most people will never understand the bond and love some of us have for our pets. Because for me, this adorable little cat was more than just a pet.
She was my best friend and my family. She was more family to me than my biological family. I had her by my side during the darkest times of my life and she literally kept me alive. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I miss and love her with all my heart and that will never change.
My forever cat & my best friend ❤️🩹 always
hello, just wanted to say I love your Snape art! he's so fabulous and cranky and fashionable I want to put him in a jar and shake him around. He's a true poor little meow meow
lol thank you so much and YES! he's just a poor little meow meow
„In the dark of night, those faces, they haunt me…“
„I wish you were so close to me. Yes, I wish your were by my side…“ („By my side“ by INXS)
I’ve always had a special soft spot for Severus in his teenage years. This way too skinny, raven-haired boy with his adorably crooked nose and those beautiful - and yet so sad - obsidian eyes never failed to trigger some kind of an overprotective goddess of revenge in my heart.
There are nights, in which I‘m drowning in my thoughts about Sevy…writing my stories for him. My OC Jules (totally self-inserted…I admit it!) allows him to show his vulnerabilities in her presence. She’s protecting and defending him….in every aspect of his life.
This man deserves some love, respect and comfort…and that’s, what we all in our beloved Snapedom are granting him.
Some time ago, I’ve read a poem by Amanda Lovelace, which reminded me of the consolation and comfort, I’d wanted to give to Severus. I want to share it with you (please ignore my scribble…that’s exactly the reason, why I’m commissioning art from all the incredibly talented artists of Snapedom 😅):
The artwork on top of this post was a gift from my friend @exlibrisseverus and I love everything about it! The whole mood in your beautiful drawing makes my heart aching for Severus…makes me wanting to fix the whole goddamn world for him.
@exlibrisseverus, you’re a gem of a human soul and I’m beyond grateful that I was allowed to get to know you better. Your resilience and your strength are - just like Severus’s - extremely inspiring to me, my friend and I hope, that you will stay in touch with me! 🖤🥹 Thank you so much for each kind word, for each recommendation and of course for this stunning piece of art!

Snape & Music 🎼
The coloration is not quite finished yet due to lack of time. At first it was planned as a sketch, but somehow I got the drive to do a full illustration. I have made a few very small additional changes, but I will leave it as it is. Also check out @snapecentric's podcast. Thanks for commissioning me. ☺️💝
Ahhh oh my god 😭😂 I love it!! Thank you so much 💖 <3 That’s hilarious! Sev's reaction is amazing, his angry face is so cute xD Poor man is on a verge of mental breakdown with this unhinged kid xDD
Hi💕Do you know this 'kid on the leash' meme? Can I request a tired Snape trying to tame kid Harry who’s getting out of control? I love your art, always hilarious. 😭😂
HEY HEY HEY💜‼️
this was rlly fun to draw!! i hope you like it!!
seven more request to go :3
Some of those sketches & color studies are from few weeks ago and some i just did recently. Unfortunately, his face doesn't always look the same when I’m drawing him, but I'm practicing. Here is Severus in his younger years and also as adult.
Just a few messy doodles, I wanted to draw Severus in formal Muggle clothes. After Snape left Hogwarts, he now lives his life among Muggles. Maybe he works for a company somewhere.
I’ll probably take a break from Tumblr for a while. It’s a record I’ve made it almost a month on a social media platform without deleting my account within first couple of days.
My brain is on crack right now. 😂 I know it’s an old meme but hey, why shouldn’t I tell my dudes that it is Wednesday?
Why 100 Points you ask? Because he can. The Head of Slytherin House has spoken.
Made few smol sketches tonight, trying to gather few ideas for upcoming drawings. I know these are just rough sketches but some are pegi-12 and i don’t want Tumblr to ban me just because i drew some ass and tiddy. I’ll make an ao3 account for that. Until then I’ll use some cute animals as a cover up. ->
My sketches are so messy that i usually redraw the first sketch multiple times before it looks somehow decent… 🤷🏻♀️ it’s the typical artist dilemma, never being completely satisfied with your work. But sometimes it’s better to let go and start a new thing. xD
Seriously I’m shy af… I’ll be lurking around ppls blogs but it’s kinda hard thing for me to make the first step. I work on it though. But feel free to dm me if you want to talk, I'm just a bit slow with my responses... coz I barely use any social media and literally live under a rock 😭
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! 🖤🧪🦇
Thank you so much for your support💋
The torn bond of friendship
The silence between us every time we meet makes my heart ache.
You avert your gaze just so you don't have to look me in the eye. I know that you don't hate me. But to be honest, I'd rather have your hate than your pity.
You wish things had gone differently. But I can't change for you the way you would like me to. Nevertheless, you are important to me.
(You always will be.)
[I tried to put myself in his shoes and that's how these few lines came about. The background in the illustration is a photo I took, it's the view from my window.]
The artist's commentary – psychological aspect/my two cents…
->
Nobody is perfect, no human being is.
Especially not adolescent teenagers who literally have almost no idea about life. Who lack empathy, compassion, maturity, experience and so many other things. All of us have certainly lost a friend at some point in our childhood or adolescence. Close friendships at a young age and the experiences associated with them can have a strong influence on our behavior later in life. All of a person's first intensive relationships with family, friends, etc., whether positive or negative, shape their world view and character immensely.
We can't expect a young person to be flawless and perfect. Maturity comes with years and experience. It is not uncommon for children and youth to be self-centered and egocentric, but that does not make them bad people. To a certain extent, selfishness is even important. As we grow up, we learn to act autonomously, make decisions and form our own opinions. It is clear that we can make mistakes during this process and possibly hurt others. We all make mistakes on our journey through life, that is part of growing up. That is a part of this life.
I have to remind myself each time that they were practically still children as at that time.
Sorry for my poor English, it’s not my native language. I do my best though. Thanks for reading 🖤
(Additional edit 10.02.2024 Tumblr confuses me a little bit, i was wondering why my previous image lost it’s quality after uploading. It took me too long to draw and i need to show the details. Anyways for better detailed view -> I’ve split the artwork. 😌)

work in progress
I’ve been working on this drawing, sleep-deprived and with many cups of coffee. Was not in the best mood but had a good work flow. But then it happened, the nib of my Apple Pen broke off as I accidentally dropped it to the ground. I was so mad… I’ve tried to continue drawing on the ipad, with my fingers, almost had an inner meltdown of frustration. Went to the gym to compose myself, didn’t helped much, was still angry with myself.
Much later I remembered that i still have my old rusty tiny little wacom bamboo tablet. Well it’s not the perfect condition but better than nothing. Feeling myself motivated again to continue.
-> Oh and the ironic thing with this is that I’ve been imagining scenarios where students in the HP universe break their wands on accident or through clumsiness, finding it funny, giggling to myself. I was kinda like: “Oh yeah, that silly moment when Ron broke his wand, lol” Until my clumsy, sleep-deprived ass accidentally breaks it’s own
“muggle artist wand” (aka apple pen).
RIP comrade 💐 🪦 🫡
P.S: Thank you guys!
I would like to thank you very much for your kind words. I’m quite overwhelmed, I haven’t expected to receive so much kindness and encouragement.
To be honest, being an HP fan was something I did quietly, mostly in private for myself, brooding over my art and headcanons, collecting merch. There were hardly any people around me with the same interest in HP, and I also was too reserved to look around online any further. This is the first time I'm starting to interact more directly with other HP enthusiasts.
I’m very touched that other people showed interest in my art.
Drawing Sev is for me all about expressing my love towards him and i try to do him justice by portraying him in such a way that he feels real to me. And also that it makes me happy when I look at the drawing later.
I wanted to end by saying that I'm relaxed about ships, I don't reject anyone based of their fandom preferences or OCs. I also have my own OC, of course. I’m cool with almost everything as long i can see Sev. Especially when i can see this beautiful overgrown bat.
Really, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support. Hugs and thanks for reading. 💋
(editor me: by Merlin, that bisch wrote an entire novel lol)
“lost in thoughts”
Everything feels new and unfamiliar here, I have no idea how Tumblr works and I hardly use social media. I usually just draw for myself without sharing the drawings online. Still, I've been thinking for a while about maybe starting an art blog dedicated entirely to my most favorite character of all time, Severus Snape. It's mostly sketches and small drawings, hope you like them too. Thanks for stopping by ❤️
